5 Minutes with… Aiya Feldman

Aiya is one of those stunning creatures you see, stop short and just can’t help but stare. She spends most of her time searching for mountain gems, conversing with radicals and capturing everything in between on an old Holga. You can catch a glimpse of her gypsy jewels on her blog www.loveisgreaterthanwitchcraft.tumblr.com or her photos on http://ganjabby.tumblr.com/

Describe your personal style in three words:  Liv Tyler in ‘95.

Your idea of happiness? Sun Medallion by King Tuff.

People would be surprised to know that you... believe in capital punishment.

What are some of your favourite shops (in Vancouver)? Nouvelle Nouvelle // Used House of Vintage // Narnia (NYC) // Value Village // One (and) Two of a few // Gallery // Woo Vintage // Dressew // Opening Ceremony (NYC/LA) // Vincent Park//  Scratch Records // spanishmossvintage.com // lilyandjae.com // bonadrag.com //

What’s your best cheap score of late? A huge chunk of green calcite and a $3 hand carved wood chair my boyfriend bought for me.

To unwind after a hard day’s work I like to… play Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday or Summer Holiday by Wild Nothing.

Do you have any particular dressing philosophies or strategies? Could I run in this?

When I see myself on screen… I picture Christina Ricci in Buffalo 66.

What did you like to draw as a child? Stick men hanging from nooses.

Right now, I really want to… have a drink & play a record.
